Do you work in post-secondary education? Are you an educator, teacher, instructor, teaching assistant, professor, subject matter expert, or instructional designer? Are you interested in Podcasts?

If you've answered Yes to any of the questions above, you need to send a thank you card to the people who author the Productive Strategies blog. If you go visit their site you'll see that one of there most popular postings is one where they list a whopping 134 sites containing academic podcasts. These are especially interesting and useful because each item on the list represents an entire academic term's worth of podcasts in one course. I think this is AWESOME! For example, pretend you are a professor that teaches a third year intro to biochemistry course. If you are interested in seeing exactly how they teach a similar course at University of California Berkeley then you now have easy access to podcasts of all 38 lectures in their course: General Biochemistry and Molecular Biology - MCB 110. Very useful indeed!!! Long live the Internet!
